Old growth forests and "ancient woodlands" — of varying species, habitats and climates around the world. See also: List of old growth forests . Wikimedia Commons has media related to Primeval forests .
Old-growth forests are unique, usually having multiple horizontal layers of vegetation representing a variety of tree species, age classes, and sizes, as well as "pit and mound" soil shape with well-established fungal nets. [19] As old-growth forest is structurally diverse, it provides higher-diversity habitat than forests in other stages.
This is a list of areas of existing old-growth forest which include at least 10 acres (4.0 hectares) of old growth. Ecoregion information from "Terrestrial Ecoregions of the World".

"Virgin forests" are those old-growth forests that show no sign of having ever been logged.
The HCF site, which consists of the former "North" and "Central Woods" (now young forest and fields), buffers the old growth forest and forestalls further development. In all, some 625 acres (2.53 km 2 ) are protected at the site, of which most (610 acres) were designated by the Maryland General Assembly in October 1997 as the Belt Woods Wildland.
